Integrity

In 'Integrity: The Courage to Meet the Demands of Reality,' Dr. Henry Cloud explores the concept of integrity beyond simple honesty.

He defines integrity as having the character to meet the demands of reality, which is achieved through six qualities: the ability to connect authentically and build trust, being oriented toward reality, working in a way that gets results, embracing and dealing with negative realities, being oriented toward growth, and having an understanding of the transcendent.

Cloud uses examples from business leaders and sports figures to illustrate these qualities and emphasizes that integrity is a growth path that anyone can engage in and enjoy.
